Introducing the Kakehashi 梯川 by Shimeru, a premium 8″ gyuto knife that redefines versatility and craftsmanship in your kitchen. Expertly designed for culinary enthusiasts and professional chefs alike, this knife combines the precision of a gyuto with the robust functionality of a cleaver, making it an essential tool for a wide range of culinary tasks.
The Kakehashi features a stunning blade crafted from vacuum heat-treated AUS10 stainless steel, offering exceptional sharpness, edge retention and durability. This high-performance steel ensures the blade remains keen through extensive use, while the finely honed edge delivers effortless slicing, mincing and chopping of everything from delicate vegetables to hearty meats, making it perfect for meal prep or intricate plating.
What sets the Kakehashi apart is its unique dual functionality. The 8″ blade is perfectly balanced, providing the agility and precision of a gyuto while possessing the heft and durability of a cleaver.

Its robust design ensures it can handle even the toughest ingredients without compromising performance.
Designed for comfort and control, the Kakehashi features an ergonomic olivewood handle that feels natural in your hand. The warm golden grain of the olivewood provides a touch of organic elegance, while the carefully carved profile ensures a secure grip that reduces fatigue, allowing for extended use without discomfort. This attention to detail in the handle’s design ensures you can manoeuvre the knife with precision and confidence, whether you are engaged in detailed work or high-volume food preparation.
Discover the unparalleled craftsmanship and functionality of the Kakehashi by Shimeru, a knife that beautifully bridges the gap between a gyuto and a cleaver. Perfect for culinary creators who seek quality and versatility in their tools, the Kakehashi will inspire your cooking journey, making every task a pleasure and every dish a masterpiece.
